    &#147;In the long run, delivering excellent investment results
    for our clients will help to generate growth for our business
    and attract new clients and additional investments for us to
    manage.&#148; That may sound familiar to you, and I hope it does
    because it is the opening sentence from my letter in 2007. I
    repeat it because I think it states very clearly that our
    primary objective is to deliver on our promise to clients and
    because we understand that if we deliver excellent investment
    results for clients we will most likely grow our business, which
    helps to satisfy our responsibility to our shareholders.

    A focus on the long term is fundamental to everything we do at
    Diamond Hill. We use rolling five-year periods in quarterly
    increments for estimating the intrinsic value of securities, and
    also for measuring the results of our various portfolio
    strategies. We hire people based on our sense of how they will
    contribute over the long term, and we seek investors who share
    our long-term perspective. Interestingly, we operate in an
    investment environment where many participants talk about the
    long term but whose actions seem to indicate a short-term
    orientation. In 2007, for example, we saw our rate of growth
    slow significantly as the relative performance of our long-short
    portfolios underperformed for the year, despite an exceptional
    long-term performance record. We understand this phenomenon, and
    we are prepared to deal with the consequences of it, but we will
    never allow the short-term orientation of others to impact our
    fundamental focus on the long term.

    The U.S.&#160;stock market was up modestly in 2007&#160;&#151;
    the fifth consecutive year of positive returns for equities.
    Cumulative gains peaked around mid-year, as problems related to
    the &#147;housing bubble&#148; revealed in the second half of
    the year caused much concern, particularly in the financial
    sector of the economy. Our strategies had mixed results for the
    calendar year; however, over a five-year period the results
    continue to be excellent. Our primary corporate objective is to
    meet our fiduciary duty to clients. Consequently, we are pleased
    that returns for our clients over the past five years meet this
    objective.

    Not surprisingly, our mixed results coupled with the financial
    sector concerns led to a slowdown in the growth of new assets
    under management (AUM). Having begun the year at
    $3.7&#160;billion in AUM, we reached $4.4&#160;billion by
    mid-year and then essentially leveled off for the remainder of
    the year. While we did attract new client assets in the second
    half, those were offset by concurrent market value declines and
    some outflows.

    Revenues rose to $41&#160;million for 2007 compared with
    $32&#160;million in 2006, and our operating profit margin rose
    to 34% versus 31%, both new highs for the company. These are
    important metrics for estimating our company&#146;s intrinsic
    value, which I believe grew for the seventh consecutive year.

    Building a company that is labor intensive (as opposed to
    capital intensive) requires attracting and retaining the
    talented people necessary for various roles in the enterprise.
    Staffing continued to expand meaningfully in 2007, and for the
    fifth consecutive year, we had no departures (but one
    retirement). Much effort and many resources are committed to
    enhancing our culture and working atmosphere, and these
    intangibles are also important in growing the intrinsic value of
    a business. Our marketing and support staff has grown, which
    should enable us to expand the number of clients and financial
    intemediaries we can serve. Also very importantly we continue to
    add talented individuals to our research analyst group, and I
    think we are developing a research team that will contribute
    meaningfully to our clients&#146; investment results, and
    possibly allow us to expand our strategy offerings. I believe
    that research is critical to our future. The growth of our
    research team gives us the additional capacity to follow more
    companies as potential investments and to build a greater
    knowledge base and expertise in more industries, which we have
    confidence will enhance future returns for our clients.

    Another intangible is the reputation of the company. Last year
    our mutual fund family ranked among the very best for
    stewardship, with an &#147;A&#148; from Morningstar.
    Morningstar&#146;s stewardship grade represents its
    analysts&#146;

    evaluation of a fund&#146;s corporate culture, board quality,

    than 1,000 funds were evaluated by Morningstar and just 6% of

    In my March 2007 letter I discussed at length a number of topics
    that should be of interest to shareholders including our views
    on the economics of our business and the balancing between
    owners and employees, a discussion of our objective of growing
    the intrinsic value of the firm over time, and our views on
    dividends and stock splits. The letter is archived on our web
    site at www.diamond-hill.com along with a number of other
    documents that describe and explain our investment and business
    philosophies. I strongly urge each shareholder to review my 2007
    letter to become familiar with our positions on these important
    topics.

    I am very grateful to all my associates at Diamond Hill. I can
    honestly say that each member of our team is talented, and I
    truly enjoy working together with them. Special mention is
    appropriate for the contributions made by our team of portfolio
    managers, including Chuck Bath, Chris Bingaman, Bill Dierker,
    Kent Rinker, Tom Schindler, Chris Welch and Bill Zox. Their
    experience, skill and leadership are invaluable. Particular note
    is offered to Chuck and the Large Cap Fund he manages, which
    ranks among the very best for the five years he has been at the
    helm, far exceeding the returns for some better known
    competitors. Chuck&#146;s contribution to other strategies has
    been very important as well, and it is accurate to say that his
    cumulative efforts during the past five years have added
    significant value to what Diamond Hill is today.

    After carefully reading this Proxy Statement, indicate on the

    sign and mail the proxy promptly in the enclosed envelope.
    Alternatively, you may vote by phone by using the control number

    accordance with the instructions on your proxy. The deadline for
    transmitting voting instructions electronically via the Internet
    or telephonically is 11:59&#160;p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings
    Time, on May&#160;21, 2008. The Internet and telephone voting

    instructions and to confirm that shareholders&#146; voting
    instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote by phone
    or over the Internet you do not need to return a proxy card. You
    should be aware that if you vote over the Internet or by phone,

    the shareholder, or may distribute such shareholder&#146;s total
    votes among as many candidates as the shareholder may select.
    However, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes
    unless the candidate&#146;s name has been placed in nomination
    prior to voting and a shareholder, has given us notice at least
    48&#160;hours prior to the Annual Meeting of the intention to
    cumulate votes. The proxies we are soliciting include the
    discretionary authority to cumulate votes. If cumulative voting
    occurs at the Annual Meeting, the proxies intend to vote the
    shares represented by proxy in a manner to elect as many of the
    seven director nominees as possible. Cumulative voting only
    applies to the election of directors. On all other matters each

    Given the relatively small size of the Company and our Board, we
    do not believe that a standing nominating committee is
    necessary. All of our directors participate in the consideration
    of director nominees, with nominees recommended for the
    Board&#146;s selection by a majority of our independent
    directors. All of our directors, other than Mr.&#160;Dillon, are
    independent under the rules and independence standards of the
    SEC and NASDAQ. Although we do not have a formal charter
    governing the nomination of directors, we do have certain
    criteria that the Board uses to assess potential directors,
    including significant skill and experience in financial
    services, investments, accounting, marketing, operations, legal
    matters or in other areas that are important to our success.

    The Board process for identifying and evaluating nominees is
    generally as follows: In the case of an incumbent director whose
    term of office is set to expire, the Board reviews the
    director&#146;s overall service to the Company during his or her
    term, including the number of meetings attended, level of
    participation and quality of performance. In the case of new
    director candidates, the Board determines whether the nominee is
    independent and whether the new director must be independent for
    us to remain in compliance with NASDAQ rules. Incumbent
    directors will be nominated for reelection or, if the Board
    feels a new director is necessary or desirable, it will use its
    network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates.
    The Board then meets to discuss and consider each
    candidate&#146;s qualifications, and the independent directors
    choose the nominees by majority vote.

    The Board policy regarding the consideration of director
    candidates recommended by shareholders, is to evaluate such
    recommendations on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">case-by-case</FONT>
    basis. The Board will consider shareholder recommendations for
    directors, and does not alter the manner in which it evaluates
    candidates, including the criteria set forth above, based upon
    the source of the recommendation. Shareholder recommendations
    for Board candidates must be directed in writing to the Company
    at 325 John H. McConnell Boulevard, Suite&#160;200, Columbus,
    Ohio 43215, Attention: Secretary, and must include the

    regarding any relationships between the candidate and us within
    the last three years, and evidence of the recommending

    This last point is directly related to firm profitability
    levels, which in essence represents the balancing of the
    economics of the business between owners and employees. Industry
    norms are helpful benchmarks for evaluating the balancing
    effort. Additionally, it makes sense to enact a thoughtful
    alignment of incentives that may pertain more so to our firm
    than others, because of our ownership structure. On a fully
    diluted basis, employees and directors own approximately 32% of
    the firm. In contrast, many of our competitor firms are owned
    entirely by their employees.

    In addition to their annual incentive compensation, certain

    encourage all employees to act and think like owners. While
    compensation amounts will differ depending upon position,
    responsibilities, performance and competitive data, we seek to

    During the past three years we made incentive awards largely in

    We generally choose to make equity awards in the form of

    earned and further avoids the complex accounting involved with

    <B><I>Determination of Incentive Compensation
    Amount.</I></B>&#160;&#160;The incentive pool is determined by
    the Compensation Committee and is agreed to in advance based
    upon the target operating profit margin of the Company with an
    objective of generating operating profit margins consistent and
    competitive with others in the investment management business.
    Mr. Dillon, our CEO, must have a maximum bonus opportunity of at
    least 20% of the incentive pool according to the terms of his
    employment agreement. Individual awards for members of the
    investment team are based on assessments of individual
    performance with a focus on investment results for the previous
    five years for each investment strategy. The CEO and CFO are
    rewarded based on achieving competitive operating results. For
    those not in the investment area objectives vary but generally
    are consistent with performance that helps in meeting our
    fiduciary duty to our clients. Awards made to executives are
    based on performance-based agreements (&#147;162(m)
    agreements&#148;) and finalized by the Compensation Committee in
    executive sessions. Awards made to non-executives are determined
    by the CEO and CFO based on the specific criteria discussed
    above.

    <B><I>Competitor Compensation Data.</I></B>&#160;&#160;We
    participate in a comprehensive compensation survey with
    approximately 125 other investment management firms and attempt
    to make individual compensation competitive with others in the
    industry while rewarding individual performance. The cash versus
    equity component of the awards are based upon an intent to
    increase employee ownership over the long-term and are biased in
    favor of stock grants and against stock options. In 2007 and
    2006, stock grants were approximately 70% of our total incentive
    awards with the remaining 30% made in cash. Currently 100% of
    incentive awards are paid on a current basis although the equity
    awards, while immediately vested, are restricted from sale for
    up to three years. We believe that incentive awards related to
    performance in a particular year, or five years ended in a
    particular year, should be paid currently. This approach offers
    a better matching of the economics with performance as opposed
    to granting awards that vest in the future thus burdening future
    earnings with awards earned in the past.

    On March&#160;30, 2007, we entered into participation agreements

    in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code

    Because the bonus is based on performance criteria, partial
    satisfaction could result in a payment as little as one dollar,
    ranging all the way to the maximum depending on the extent to
    which performance goals are met. The maximum is the largest
    amount that could have been earned for fiscal 2007, which was
    the performance period for the awards, upon the satisfaction of
    all of the performance goals specified in the participation
    agreement. Because the amount of the award earned varies based
    upon the extent of satisfaction of the performance goals, there
    is no specified target amount.</TD>

    amount available to him under our annual incentive plan for
    2007. Although amounts are denominated in dollars, once earned

    Committee, partially in cash and partially in our shares. The

    The SEC has implemented rules regarding the delivery of proxy
    materials (i.e., annual reports, proxy statements, proxy
    statements combined with a prospectus or any information
    statements provided to shareholders) to households. This method
    of delivery, often referred to as &#147;householding,&#148;
    would generally permit us to send a single annual report and a
    single proxy statement to any household at which two or more
    different shareholders reside if we believe such shareholders
    share the same address, unless the shareholder(s) have opted out
    of the householding process. Each shareholder would continue to
    receive a separate notice of any meeting of shareholders and
    proxy card. The householding procedure reduces the volume of
    duplicate information you receive and reduces our expenses. We
    have instituted householding. If (i)&#160;you wish to receive
    separate annual reports or proxy statements, either this year or

Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
relating to such matters as anticipated operating results, prospects for achieving the critical
threshold of assets under management, technological developments, economic trends (including
interest rates and market volatility), expected transactions and acquisitions and similar matters.
The words &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;plan&#148; and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date thereof. While the
Company believes that the assumptions underlying its forward-looking statements are reasonable,
investors are cautioned that any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and accordingly,
the actual results and experiences of the Company could differ materially from the anticipated
results or other expectations expressed by the Company in its forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause such actual results or experiences to differ from results discussed in the
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the adverse effect from a decline in
the securities markets; a decline in the performance of the Company&#146;s products; changes in interest
rates; a general downturn in the economy; changes in government policy and regulation, including
monetary policy; changes in the Company&#146;s ability to attract or retain key employees; unforeseen
costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of governmental and
self-regulatory organizations; and other risks identified from time-to-time in the Company&#146;s other
public documents on file with the SEC.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Investment Advisory Activities</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM executes its investment strategies through fundamental research and valuation disciplines.
Analysts evaluate a company&#146;s prospects based upon its current business and financial position,
future growth opportunities, and management capability and strategy. The intended result is an
estimate of &#147;intrinsic value&#148;. Intrinsic value is the present value of future cash flows, which the
Company estimates the investment will generate, discounted at a rate that reflects the required
return for the investment given the estimated level of risk. In other words, it is the estimated
price a minority shareholder should pay in order to achieve a satisfactory or &#147;fair&#148; return on the
investment. The estimate of intrinsic value is then compared to the current market price to
evaluate whether, in the opinion of DHCM, an attractive investment opportunity exists. A
proprietary valuation model, which takes into account projected cash flows for five years including
a &#147;terminal value&#148; (the expected stock price in five years), assists in many of these intrinsic
value estimations. DHCM applies an intrinsic value philosophy to the analysis of fixed income
securities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM believes that although securities markets are competitive, pricing inefficiencies often exist
allowing for attractive investment opportunities. Furthermore, DHCM believes that investing in
securities whose market prices are significantly below DHCM&#146;s estimate of intrinsic value (or
selling short securities whose market prices are above intrinsic value) is a reliable method to
achieve above average returns as well as mitigate risk.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Current portfolio strategies managed include Small Cap, Small-Mid Cap, Large Cap, Select,
Long-Short, Financial Long-Short, and Strategic Income. These strategies are available on a
separately managed basis and/or through a mutual fund. The Small Cap strategy was closed to new
investors as of December&nbsp;31, 2005 and re-opened on September&nbsp;1, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company also manages three private investment funds that utilize the Long-Short strategy.
These funds are offered on a private placement basis to accredited and qualified investors in the
United States and around the world.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Marketing</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company primarily generates business for all three of its product lines (mutual funds, managed
accounts, and private investment funds) through financial intermediaries including independent
registered investment advisors, brokers, financial planners, investment consultants and third party
marketing firms.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Diamond Hill Funds</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s mutual fund portfolios have, the Company believes, strong investment performance
track records and are highly rated by third party services like Morningstar, Inc. (&#147;Morningstar&#148;).
As a result, the Company has had success in raising assets by focusing on independent registered
investment advisors and independent broker/dealers who conduct their own investment research.
During 2006 and 2007, the Company added resources to market the Company&#146;s mutual funds through
wirehouse broker/dealers and 401k platforms. Below is a summary of the assets by distribution
channel as of December&nbsp;31, 2007, 2006 and 2005:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Separate Accounts and Private Investment Funds</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company continues to develop institutional relationships for separate account management
primarily through consultant relationships, database research screens, and direct marketing. In
June&nbsp;2006, the Company launched two new private investment funds. Both are managed in a similar
fashion to the Company&#146;s existing private investment partnership. Diamond Hill Offshore Ltd. is
domiciled in the Cayman Islands for use by foreign entities and qualified U.S. entities. Diamond
Hill Investment Partners II, L.P. is an Ohio limited partnership, similar to the Company&#146;s existing
partnership; however, it is designed for institutions and &#147;super-accredited&#148; investors. The Company
has also engaged a third party placement firm to assist in raising assets in the private investment
funds. To date, efforts by the third party placement firm have been successful. The third party
firm earns 20% of all revenue earned each year from clients it introduced to the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Growth Prospects</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As mentioned, the Company&#146;s mutual funds, separately managed accounts, and private investment funds
have strong five year investment returns that the Company believes compare very favorably to
competitors. Investment returns have been a key driver in the success the Company has achieved in
growing assets under management (&#147;AUM&#148;) at a rate of 19%, 142%, and 192% in 2007, 2006, and 2005,
respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result, the Company invested in marketing throughout 2007 and expects to continue to invest
into 2008 in an effort to expand distribution. Such expenditures are expected to include:

</TABLE>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The cost of these efforts could be significant, but the Company believes it will be proportional to
the increase in revenue during 2008 and future years. There can be no assurance that these efforts
will prove successful; however, given the investment results of the Diamond Hill Funds (the
&#147;Funds&#148;) and separately managed accounts, the Company believes the additional resources devoted to
marketing are warranted.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Also recognizing that the Company&#146;s primary responsibility is to investors in its Funds and its
separate account clients, the Company will continue to invest in its investment team and close
investment strategies to new investors when appropriate. In 2006 and 2007, the Company
substantially increased its equity investment team adding two portfolio managers, six equity
research analysts and trading and technology support. A full year cost for those additions will be
reflected in 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company believes that one of the most important characteristics exhibited by the best
investment firms is excellent investment returns for their clients over a long period of time. The
Company is pleased that in its history as an investment advisory firm it has delivered what it
believes are excellent investment returns for its clients. However, the Company is mindful that if
it fails to do so in the future, its business growth will be negatively impacted. There are
certain additional business risks that may prevent the Company from achieving the above growth
prospects. These risks are detailed in Item&nbsp;1A.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During 2008, the Company plans to create a new operating broker-dealer subsidiary to serve as the
statutory underwriter for Diamond Hill Funds. The subsidiary also plans to market these
underwriting services, along with other administrative services to other small to mid-size mutual
fund complexes. During the past two years there has been a continuing consolidation in the mutual
fund servicing industry, whereby large financial services firms purchased independent mutual fund
service providers. These larger financial services firms have made the decision not to offer
statutory underwriting services to mutual funds, due to regulatory and other business conflicts and
are seeking independent service providers to fill the void. As a result, the Company believes
there is an opportunity in the market place to establish a business that can serve as a mutual fund
distributor and provide treasury and compliance services to small to mid-size mutual fund
companies. The Company plans to capitalize this subsidiary with $1&nbsp;million. The subsidiary&#146;s
efforts in 2008 will be focused on building out the infrastructure and business development
activities. The Company hopes the subsidiary will achieve break even within two years.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Competition</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Competition in the area of investment management services and mutual funds is intense, and the
Company&#146;s competitors include investment management firms, broker-dealers, banks and insurance
companies, some of whom offer various investment alternatives. Many competitors are better known
than the Company, are better capitalized, offer a broader range of investment products and have
more offices, employees and sales representatives. The Company competes primarily on the basis of
investment philosophy, performance and customer service.

other equity securities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Regulation</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (the &#147;Advisers Act&#148;) and operates in a highly regulated environment. The
Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on registered investment advisers, including fiduciary
duties, recordkeeping requirements, operational requirements and disclosure obligations. All
Diamond Hill Funds are registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each fund
is also required to make notice filings with all states where it is offered for sale. Virtually
all aspects of the Company&#146;s investment management business are subject to various federal and
state laws and regulations. Generally, these laws and regulations are primarily intended to
benefit shareholders of the funds and separate account investment clients and generally grant
supervisory agencies and bodies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or
restrict the Company from carrying on its investment management business in the event that it fails
to comply with such laws and regulations. In such event, possible sanctions which may be imposed
include the suspension of individual employees, business limitations on DHCM engaging in the
investment management business for specified periods of time, the revocation of DHCM&#146;s registration
as an investment adviser, and other censures or fines.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Contractual Relationships with the Diamond Hill Funds</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is very dependent on its contractual relationships with the Funds. In the event the
advisory or administration agreements with Funds are canceled or not renewed pursuant to the terms
thereof, the Company would be materially and adversely affected. The Company considers its
relationship with the Funds and their Board of Trustees to be good, and it has no reason to believe
that these advisory or administration contracts will not be renewed in the future; however, there
is no assurance that the Funds will choose to continue their relationships with the Company. The
Company generated approximately 69% and 54% of its 2007 and 2006 revenues, respectively, from its
advisory and administrative contracts with Diamond Hill Funds.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">An investment in the Company&#146;s common shares involves various risks, including those mentioned
below and those that are discussed from time-to-time in its other periodic filings with the SEC.
Investors should carefully consider these risks, along with the other information contained in this
report, before making an investment decision regarding the Company&#146;s common shares. There may be
additional risks of which the Company is currently unaware, or which it currently considers
immaterial. All of these risks could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition,
results of operations, and value of its common stock.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Investment Performance.</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">If the Company fails to deliver excellent performance for its clients, both in the short and long
term, it will likely experience diminished investor interest and potentially a diminished level of
AUM.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>The Company&#146;s assets under management, which impact revenue, are subject to significant
fluctuations.</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Substantially all revenue for the Company is calculated as percentages of assets under management
or is based on the general performance of the equity securities market. A decline in securities
prices or in the sale of investment products or an increase in fund redemptions generally would
reduce fee income. Financial market declines or adverse changes in interest rates would generally
negatively impact the level of the Company&#146;s assets under management and consequently its revenue
and net income. A recession or other economic or political events could also adversely impact the
Company&#146;s revenue if it led to a decreased demand for products, a higher redemption rate, or a
decline in securities prices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>The Company&#146;s success depends on its key personnel, and its financial performance could be
negatively affected by the loss of their services. </U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s success depends on highly skilled personnel, including portfolio managers, research
analysts, and management, many of whom have specialized expertise and extensive experience in the
industry. Financial services professionals are in high demand, and the Company faces significant
competition for qualified employees. With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, key
employees do not have employment contracts, and generally can terminate their employment at any
time. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to retain or replace key personnel. In order
to retain or replace its key personnel, the Company may be required to increase compensation, which
would decrease net income. The loss of key personnel could damage the Company&#146;s reputation and make
it more difficult to retain and attract new employees and investors. Losses of assets from its
client investors would decrease its revenues and net income, possibly materially.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Many of these financial institutions have substantially greater resources than the Company and may
offer a broader range of products or operate in more markets. Some operate in a different
regulatory environment which may give them certain competitive advantages in the investment
products and portfolio structures that they offer. The Company competes with other providers of
investment advisory services primarily based upon its investment performance. Some institutions
have proprietary products and distribution channels that make it more difficult for the Company to
compete with them. If current or potential customers decide to use one of the Company&#146;s
competitors, the Company could face a significant decline in market share, assets under management,
revenues, and net income. If the Company is required to lower its fees in order to remain
competitive, its net income could be significantly reduced because some of its expenses are fixed,
especially over shorter periods of time, and others may not decrease in proportion to the decrease
in revenues.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>A significant portion of the Company&#146;s revenues are based on contracts with the Diamond Hill
Funds that are subject to termination without cause and on short notice. </U><br><BR>
The Company provides investment advisory and administrative services to the Diamond Hill Funds
under various agreements. The board of each Diamond Hill Fund must annually approve the terms of
the investment management and administration agreements and can terminate the agreement upon 60-day
notice. If a Diamond Hill Fund seeks to lower the fees that the Company receives or terminate its
contract with the Company, the Company would experience a decline in fees earned from the Diamond
Hill Funds, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s revenues and net income.
The Company derived 69% and 54% of its 2007 and 2006 revenue, respectively from investment advisory

to significant regulation and oversight by the SEC and FINRA. Changes in legal, regulatory,

Hill&#146;s Common Stock to that of the Russell Microcap<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</SUP> Index, and to a peer group index
of publicly traded asset management firms for the five-year period ending on December&nbsp;31, 2007.
The graph assumes that the value of the investment in Diamond Hill&#146;s Common Stock and each index
was $100 on December&nbsp;31, 2002. Total return includes reinvestment of all dividends. According to
Russell, the Microcap<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</SUP> Index makes up less than 3% of the U.S. equity market and is a
market-value-weighted index of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000 Index
plus the next 1,000 securities. Peer Group returns are weighted by the market capitalization of
each firm at the beginning of each measurement period. The historical information set forth below
is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Diamond Hill does not make or endorse any
predictions as to future stock performance.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In this section the Company discusses and analyzes the consolidated results of operations for the
past three fiscal years and other factors that may affect future financial performance. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, and Selected Financial Data.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s revenue is derived primarily from investment advisory and administration fees
received from Diamond Hill Funds and investment advisory and performance incentive fees received
from separate accounts and private investment funds. Investment advisory and administration fees
paid to the Company are based on the value of the investment portfolios managed by the Company and
fluctuate with changes in the total value of the assets under management. Such fees are recognized
in the period that the Company manages these assets. Performance incentive fees are earned in the
amount of 20% on the amount of client annual investment performance in excess of a 5% annual return
hurdle. Because performance incentive fees are based primarily on the performance of client
accounts, they can be volatile from period to period. The Company&#146;s major expense is employee
compensation and benefits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Revenues are highly dependant on both the value and composition of assets under management (&#147;AUM&#148;).
The following is a summary of the firm&#146;s AUM for each of the prior three years and a roll-forward
of this three year growth:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company posted net income of $9,932,315 ($4.39 per diluted share) for the year ended December
31, 2007, compared with net income of $8,065,133 ($3.63 per diluted share) for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006. The increase in profitability is directly attributable to an increase in
investment advisory and mutual fund administration fees which are correlated to an increase in AUM
of $695&nbsp;million during 2007. The increase in profitability was achieved despite a 98% decrease in
performance incentive fees due to investment performance in client portfolios not exceeding the
hurdle rate.

December&nbsp;31, 2006</B></div>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a percent of total 2007 revenues, investment advisory fees account for 85%, performance
incentive fees account for less than 1%, and mutual fund administration makes up the remaining 14%.
This compares to 63%, 25%, and 12%, respectively for 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>Investment advisory fees are generally calculated as a percent of
average net assets under management at various levels depending on the investment product. The
Company&#146;s average advisory fee rate for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 was 0.83% compared to
0.76% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. This increase was mainly due to the increase in assets
under management in the long-short products, which have a higher advisory fee. The overall
increase in investment advisory fees year over year was primarily due to an increase in AUM of $695
million in 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Performance Incentive Fees. </B>Performance incentive fees are equal to 20% of the performance
increase in client accounts after a 5% annual hurdle is achieved. The fees are dependent on both
assets under management and absolute investment performance in client accounts and can be very
volatile from period to period. Incentive fee AUM totaled $581&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007
compared to $374&nbsp;million at the end of 2006. Despite the 55% increase in incentive fee AUM,
absolute investment performance in client accounts during 2007 generally did not exceed the
required 5% annual hurdle and therefore performance incentive fees were down 98% compared to 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration Fees. </B>Mutual fund administration fees are calculated as a percent of
average net assets under administration in the Diamond Hill Funds. The Company earns 0.32% on
Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and 0.18% on Class&nbsp;I shares. As assets in the Funds have grown the
Company has realized certain economies of scale; and as a result, the Company has lowered its
administration fees by approximately 10% in each of the last three years to pass on those economies
of scale to fund shareholders. The Company expects to lower its administration fees again
effective April&nbsp;30, 2008. Despite lowering fees by 11% during 2007, fund administration revenues
increased by $2.3&nbsp;million over 2006 due to the increase in assets under administration.

fee AUM contributed to the $5&nbsp;million increase in fees for 2006 compared to 2005. In June&nbsp;2006, the
Company launched two new private investment funds, which provided for additional incentive fees. In
conjunction with the launch of these two funds, a third party placement firm was hired to market
the new funds as well as the Company&#146;s existing private investment fund. To date, efforts by the
third party placement firm have been successful.

terms of an operating lease and other contractual purchase obligations at December&nbsp;31, 2007. Other
purchase obligations include contractual amounts that will be due for the purchase of services to
be used in the Company&#146;s operations such as mutual fund sub-administration and portfolio accounting
software. These obligations may be cancelable at earlier times than those indicated under certain
conditions that may involve termination fees. Because these obligations are of a normal recurring
nature, the Company expects that it will fund them from future cash flows from operations. The
information presented does not include operating expenses or capital expenditures that will be
committed in the normal course of operations in 2008 and future years:

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements with any obligation under a guarantee contract,
or a retained or contingent interest in assets or similar arrangement that serves as credit,
liquidity or market risk support for such assets, or any other obligation, including a contingent
obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument or arising out
of a variable interest.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Provisions for Income Tax Taxes. </I>The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.
109, &#147;Accounting for Income Taxes.&#148; The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize
the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity&#146;s financial
statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in the Company&#146;s financial statements or tax returns. Effective January
1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;48 &#151; &#147;Accounting for the
Uncertainty in Income Taxes&#148; (&#147;FIN 48&#148;), an interpretation of SFAS 109. As a result of the
implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment in the net tax liability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Revenue Recognition on Incentive-Based Advisory Contracts. </I>The Company has certain investment
advisory contracts in which a portion of the fees are based on investment performance achieved in
the respective client portfolio in excess of five percent. EITF Abstract Topic No.&nbsp;D-96,
&#147;Accounting for Management Fees Based on a Formula,&#148; identifies two methods by which incentive
revenue may be recorded. Under &#147;Method 1,&#148; incentive fees are recorded at the end of the contract
year. Under &#147;Method 2,&#148; incentive fees are recorded periodically and calculated as the amount that
would be due under the formula at any point in time as if the contract was terminated at that date.
Management has chosen the more conservative method (&#147;Method 1&#148;), in which performance fees are
recorded at the end of the contract period provided for by the contract terms.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Newly Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards</B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Each reporting period the Company considers all newly issued but not yet adopted standards
applicable to its operations and the preparation of the Company&#146;s consolidated statements. One such
standard, SFAS No.&nbsp;157, &#147;Fair Value Measurements&#148;, may add additional note disclosures to the
Company&#146;s 2008 financial statements about the valuation of its corporate investments. Adoption of
SFAS No.&nbsp;157 should not have a material effect on the Company&#146;s financial position or results of
operations.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s revenues and net income are based primarily on the value of assets under its
management. Accordingly, declines in financial market values directly and negatively impact its
investment advisory revenues and net income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company invests in Diamond Hill Funds, its private investment funds, and other equity
securities, which are market risk sensitive financial instruments. These investments have inherent
market risk in the form of equity price risk; that is, the potential future loss of value that
would result from a decline in the fair value. Each equity fund and its underlying net assets are
also subject to market risk, which may arise from changes in equity prices. The bond fund is also
subject to market risk which may arise from changes in equity prices, credit ratings and interest
rates. Market prices fluctuate and the amount realized upon subsequent sale may differ
significantly from the reported market value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The table below summarizes the Company&#146;s market risks as of December&nbsp;31, 2007, and shows the
effects of a hypothetical 10% increase and decrease in equity and bond investments.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Shareholders and Board of Directors of<BR>
Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc.:

</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries as of December&nbsp;31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders&#146; equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 2007. We also have audited the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting as of
December&nbsp;31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control &#150; Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management is
responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of
December&nbsp;31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Diamond Hill Investment
Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control &#150; Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Note 1 <U>Organization</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) was incorporated as a Florida corporation in
April&nbsp;1990 and in May&nbsp;2002 merged into an Ohio corporation formed for the purpose of
reincorporating in Ohio, where the Company&#146;s principal place of business is located. The Company
has two operating subsidiaries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (&#147;DHCM&#148;), an Ohio corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company and a registered investment advisor. DHCM is the investment adviser to the Diamond
Hill Funds (the &#147;Funds&#148;), a series of open-end mutual funds, private investment funds (&#147;Private
Funds&#148;), and also offers advisory services to institutional and individual investors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Diamond Hill GP (Cayman) Ltd. (&#147;DHGP&#148;) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted
company on May&nbsp;18, 2006 for the purpose of acting as the general partner of a Cayman Islands
exempted limited partnership, which partnership acts as a master fund for Diamond Hill Offshore
Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company; and Diamond Hill Investment Partners II, L.P., an Ohio
limited partnership. Diamond Hill GP (Cayman) Ltd. has no operating activity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Note 2 <U>Significant Accounting Policies</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Company&#146;s
significant accounting policies:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Principles of Consolidation</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and DHCM.
All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Segment Information</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS No.&nbsp;131, &#147;Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,&#148; establishes
disclosure requirements relating to operating segments in annual and interim financial statements.
Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, namely as an
investment adviser managing mutual funds, separate accounts, and private investment funds.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Cash and Cash Equivalents</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market funds.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Accounts Receivable</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Accounts receivable are recorded when they are due and are presented in the balance sheet, net of
any allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when they are determined
to be uncollectible. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company&#146;s
historical losses, existing conditions in the industry, and the financial stability of those
individuals or entities that owe the receivable. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed
necessary at December&nbsp;31, 2007 and 2006.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Valuation of Investment Portfolio</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investments in mutual funds are valued at their quoted closing current net asset values, or NAVs,
per share of each mutual fund. Investments in Private Funds and other equity securities are
independently valued based on readily available market quotations. The changes in market values
on the investments are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income as investment returns.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Limited Partnership Interests</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM is the managing member of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC, the General Partner of Diamond
Hill Investment Partners, LP (&#147;DHIP&#148;) and Diamond Hill Investment Partners II, LP (&#147;DHIP II&#148;),
each a limited partnership whose underlying assets consist of marketable securities. DHCM in its
role as the managing member of the General Partner exerts significant influence over the financial
and operating policies of DHIP and DHIP II but does not exercise control. Therefore, DHCM&#146;s
investment in DHIP and DHIP II is accounted for using the equity method, under which DHCM&#146;s share
of the net earnings or losses from the partnership is reflected in income as earned, and
distributions received are reflected as reductions from the investment. Several board members,
officers and employees of the Company invest in DHIP and DHIP II through Diamond Hill General
Partner, LLC. These individuals receive no remuneration as a result of their personal investment
in DHIP or DHIP II. The capital of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC is not subject to a
management fee or an incentive fee.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Property and Equipment</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Property and equipment, consisting of computer equipment, furniture, and fixtures, is carried at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method
over estimated lives of three to seven years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Treasury Stock</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method. The subsequent issuances of
these shares are accounted for based on their weighted-average cost basis.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Revenue Recognition &#151; General</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from investment advisory and fund
administration services. Mutual fund investment advisory and administration fees, calculated as a
percentage of assets under management, are recorded as revenue as services are performed. Managed
account and private investment fund clients provide for monthly or quarterly management fees, in
addition to quarterly or annual performance fees.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Revenue Recognition &#150; Performance Incentive Revenue</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s private investment funds and certain managed accounts provide for performance
incentive fees. EITF Abstract Topic No.&nbsp;D-96, &#147;Accounting for Management Fees Based on a
Formula&#148;, identifies two methods by which incentive revenue may be recorded. Under &#147;Method 1&#148;,
incentive fees are recorded at the end of the contract period; under &#147;Method 2&#148;, the incentive
fees are recorded periodically and calculated as the amount that would be due under the formula at
any point in time as if the contract was terminated at that date. Management has chosen the more
conservative method (&#147;Method 1&#148;), in which incentive fees are recorded at the end of the contract
period for the specific client in which the incentive fee applies. The table below shows assets
under management (&#147;AUM&#148;) subject to performance incentive fees and the performance incentive fees
as calculated under each of the above methods:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Revenue Recognition &#150; Mutual Fund Administration</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM has an administrative, fund accounting and transfer agency services agreement with the
Diamond Hill Funds (&#147;Funds&#148;), under which DHCM performs certain services for each fund. These
services include mutual fund administration, accounting, transfer agency and other related
functions. For performing these services, each fund compensates DHCM a fee at an annual rate of
0.32% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and 0.18% for Class&nbsp;I shares times each series&#146; average daily
net assets. Effective April&nbsp;30, 2007, the fee for administrative services was reduced from 0.36%
to 0.32% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares. The Funds have selected and contractually engaged
certain vendors to fulfill various services to benefit the Funds&#146; shareholders or to satisfy
regulatory requirements of the Funds. These services include, among others, required fund
shareholder mailings, registration fees, legal and audit fees. DHCM, in fulfilling a portion of
its role under the administration agreement with the Funds, acts as agent to pay these obligations
of the Funds. Each vendor is independently responsible for fulfillment of the services it has
been engaged to provide and negotiates fees and terms with the management and board of trustees of
the Funds. The fee that the Funds pay to DHCM is reviewed annually by the Funds&#146; board of
trustees and specifically takes into account the contractual expenses that DHCM pays on behalf of
the Funds. As a result, DHCM is not involved in the delivery or pricing of these services and
bears no risk related to these services. Consistent with EITF 99-19, revenue has been recorded
net of these Fund expenses. In addition, DHCM finances the up-front commissions which are paid by
the Fund&#146;s principal underwriter to brokers who sell C shares of the Funds. As financer, DHCM
advances to the underwriter the commission amount to be paid to the selling broker at the time of
sale. This advancement is capitalized and amortized over 12&nbsp;months to correspond with the
re-payments DHCM receives from the principal underwriter to recoup
this commission advancement.
Mutual fund administration (&#147;admin&#148;) gross and net revenue are summarized below:

other rights, which could adversely affect the voting or other rights of the holders of the Common
Shares. There were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding at December&nbsp;31, 2007.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At the Company&#146;s annual shareholder meeting on May&nbsp;12, 2005, shareholders approved the 2005
Employee and Director Equity Incentive Plan (&#147;2005 Plan&#148;). The 2005 Plan is intended to
facilitate the Company&#146;s ability to attract and retain staff, provide additional incentive to
employees, directors and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company&#146;s business. The
Plan authorizes the issuance of Common Shares of the Company in various forms of stock or option
grants. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007 shares available for issuance under the Plan are 425,250. The
Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board, may grant awards
and otherwise administer the Plan.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>1993 Non-qualified and Incentive Stock Option Plan</I></DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company adopted a Non-Qualified and Incentive Stock Option Plan in 1993 that authorized the
grant of options to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock. The
Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board, may grant
options and otherwise administer the Option Plan. This Plan expired by its terms in November
2003. Options outstanding under this Plan are not affected by the Plan&#146;s expiration.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Equity Compensation Grants</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May&nbsp;13, 2004 the Company&#146;s shareholders approved terms and conditions of certain equity
compensation grants to three key employees. Under the approved terms a total of 75,000 shares of
restricted stock and restricted stock units were issued to the key employees on May&nbsp;31, 2004. The
restricted stock and restricted stock units are restricted from sale and do not vest until May&nbsp;31,
2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">These grants, along with other restricted stock grants which vest over time, are recorded as
deferred compensation on grant date and then recognized as compensation expense over the vesting
period of the respective grant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>401(k) Plan</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan whereby all employees participate in the plan. Employees may
contribute a portion of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws.
The Company makes matching contributions of Common Shares of the Company with a value equal to 200
percent of the first six percent of an employee&#146;s compensation contributed to the plan. Employees
become fully vested in the matching contributions after six plan years of employment. For the
years ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, expenses attributable to the plan were $437,413,
$327,090 and $238,073, respectively.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective October&nbsp;1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation&#148; (&#147;SFAS 123R&#148;). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees and
directors, including grants of stock options, to be recognized as expense in the income statement
based on their fair values. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the
options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is
normally the vesting period of the options. SFAS 123R applies to the Company for options granted
or modified after October&nbsp;1, 2005. SFAS 123R also requires compensation cost to be recorded for
prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption.

in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of
representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. Certain agreements do
not contain any limits on the Company&#146;s liability and would involve future claims that may be made
against the Company that have not yet occurred, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the
Company&#146;s potential liability under these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance
policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules&nbsp;13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period
covered by this annual report (the &#147;Evaluation Date&#148;). Based on such evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date,
the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules and forms, and to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company&#146;s
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. There have not been any changes in the Company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B>Management&#146;s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting</B></U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Management of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the Company) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule&nbsp;13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal Control &#151;
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of December&nbsp;31, 2007.
